A pad shield is mountable over an access opening provided in a disc brake caliper and includes a pair of shell sections, a bridge extending between and interconnecting the shell sections, and a resiliently deformable spring also extending between and interconnecting the shell sections. By way of such a construction, upon mounting the pad shield in position over the access opening, the pad shield can be resiliently retained in place by counterbalanced forces acting on the shell sections, the bridge, and the spring. These forces cooperate to retain the pad shield on the caliper, in an essentially vibration-free and noiseless manner, by way of a component that already exists on the brake and without any need for additional parts protruding beyond a current caliper profile. |
